2Probably the fight between Wu and his shadow self. The outline left that pretty wide open and so I got to have some fun with that scene and address some things I wanted to for a while.
3What's different about writing the Ninjago books than writing material for Bionicle? Aside from the obvious character races
4BIONICLE didn't have a TV series, that's the biggest difference. BIONICLE main story would take up the comics and a couple of the books in a year, and then the other books just had to not contradict main story for the next year. Other than that, it was just a matter of coming up with a good idea. NINJAGO has much more extensive main story, because of the series, so it can be much harder to find room for side stories.

2Bionicles are born when the two parents build a tiny robot out of their spare parts.
3This is partialy a joke and partialy a real explanation
4BIONICLE beings are artificially created bio-mechanical beings, made by merging protodermis tissue with mechanical parts. They aren't born, they're made. The original Toa and Matoran were made by the Great Beings. Later Matoran were manufactured inside the robot as needed.

41) I thought I remember the part in Bionicle 4 when the mask of life is flying through space, it flies through a nebula with three planets, shaped like the UDD symbol. Maybe I'm just crazy.
53) Does anything live there?
64) I guess I mean besides the magazine. EG, you wrote the stories for G1 Bionicle and NinjaGo comics. Did you write books for any other themes?
77) Makes sense.
88) I thought it was Bionic Chronicle. So...the way of the Bionicle? Does that mean they consider Bionicle to be the story of their word? Like we call ours History, and they call theirs Bionicle?

43) I think the best way to split the baby on this one is to say she is part of a species, but was the only one on Spherus Magna. I do not believe two of that species could co-exist on the same planet. It would be like having two vampires in the same village.
5Wait, Annona is part of a species but she is the only one on Spherus Magna? I have a couple of questions about this species.
61. This species comes from another planet or dimension? If so, is this planet in the system of Solis Magna?
72. Is it possible that Mata Nui has already met a member of this species when he explored other worlds?
ScribeGT6817 wrote:OnionShark wrote:OnionShark wrote:1Hi Greg,
2Here are two questions from two different posts that you missed, and a new one.
31) This one's about this passage of ST, some of the inner thoughts of Sahmad:
4"I realized that I could have dreamed Annona out of existence before, but didn't. Maybe because somehow I knew it wouldn't work. If the golden being could have eliminated Annona that easily, he would have done so."
5What exactly was stopping the GSB from eliminating Annona?
63) You said that Annona is a unique being, but I found an older post on this thread in wich you said that she was part of a species, and she was the only one of its members to inhabit SM. Wich one of the two statements is correct?
7Thanks
81) For the GSB to do that, someone else would have had to harbored a dream of Annona being destroyed. GSB cannot act on its own dreams, it doesn't have any.
93) I think the best way to split the baby on this one is to say she is part of a species, but was the only one on Spherus Magna. I do not believe two of that species could co-exist on the same planet. It would be like having two vampires in the same village.
101) Maybe I worded my question poorly... I meant to say that Sahmad seems to think that dreaming Annona out of existance would not work, but why wouldn't it?
113) Interesting. Are Annona's various powers and abilites (psionics, teleportation, entering a self-induced stasis, and temperature control) a trait of her species or are they unique to her?
124) Are members of Annona species male and female?
135) How do they reproduce? Since they could be a danger to each other, sexual reproduction wouldn't be a good idea, right?
146) Is this species native to a certain planet?
157) Since the species isn't capable of interplanetary travel (assuming questions 3 and 6 are correct), how do they come to other planets? Like, how did Annona come to Spherus Magna (assuming she wasn't born there)?
168) Is this species widespread in the Solis Magna System?
179) And outside of the SMS?

3However, it was destiny that caused them to be fused together in the first place. If their destiny was to be fused, then by direct contrast it is not their destiny to be unfused.
4I disagree. That is like saying if you destiny was that you broke your leg skiing, that means it is not your destiny for your leg to heal. What if their destiny was to be fused and then someday unfused?
5Not to mention, it was Tahu's destiny to transform into a Nuva, and it was also his destiny to be turned back to his original form.

2Off the top of my head, I can't recall us ever saying Teridax was the first Makuta created. Had he been, he probably would have been the first leader of the BOM, and he was not.
3As it is, Makuta Miserix was the first leader of the Brotherhood.

5Fair point. I guess we'll never know :/
1Regarding the 'tablets' that the Matoran of Metru Nui used to record their research and write down notes, there is something I have been wondering. In some story materials, these tablets are presented as just that - stone slabs on which the Matoran inscribe their words. But it always struck me as odd that such a technologically advanced city would use such an archaic method of writing.
2However, in recent years, the word 'tablet' has taken on a new meaning - that of an electronic touch-capable device like an iPad. Could it be that Metru Nui's tablets were based on similar technology?
3In Bionicle 2: Legends of Metru Nui, we see Whenua using an iPad-like device while working in the Archives, though until now that has been of questionable canonicity. Could you please provide a more definitive answer?
